2000 Ford Focus locks complaints
Page 8 of 8: complaints 191 to 201 of 201, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Door locks are inoperable, specially the driver side which cannot be opened from the outside or the inside. The keyless entry does not work nor does the key or the lock latch. It is impossible to open the car door at this time. The only way to get into drivers side is by climbing through the passenger seat. This is a serious safety hazard while driving or in the case that vehicle should get into an accident. Living in louisiana this poses a serious threat if the vehicle should fall into a drainage canal exit from the car would be impossible.
Left rear door would not open. Dealer fixed and 5 months later it would not open again.
7 new stereos, 2 ignition cylinders, a few trunk latches, transmission trouble(dealer cannot duplicate), 20,000 miles I have to replace 4 tires and 4 brake pads, horrible grinding noise when stopping, shakes on the freeway when braking, misassembled interior rails, and many others. I am completely dissatisfied with this vehicle, I will never, ever buy another ford vehicle and I will certainly never reccomend a ford to anyone.
Had activated child safety lock from inside. Unable to open door from outside. Consumer states that the system activates inside, door must be opened and have car key available to engage lock.
